Yes, this is not technically for computer cases...but what the heck.
I'm looking to build a pair of speakers out of MDF and a layer of thin aluminum or copper sheet. (It's cheaper than veneer, and if you spill coffee on it, it comes right off.)
However, I have the woodworking skills of a fermented kumquat.
Thankfully, the kind (ha!) people at Home Depot can cut the wood into the correctly sized panels, and I have a hole saw (essentially an oversized drillbit) I bought from Harbor Freight for a whopping $5.
I'm going to use MDF, both because it has superior sonic dampening qualities, and because it's really, really cheap. I figure I'll use glue and clamps with aluminum L-channel (I think that's what they're called) along the four edges from top to bottom - hopefully, this will be strong enough to hold together.
Does anyone have any tips for assembly?
